After losing contact with the other party, Li Ke took out his handheld computer, connected it, and dialed the captain's communication number. The other party answered quickly.

A friendly-looking man in his fifties appeared on the other side. He smiled and said, "You're quick on your feet. The people on the other side are really furious now."

Li Ke looked bewildered: "What do you mean? Are you talking about something that happened inside the other side's base? I didn't do that."

The captain hesitated, "Wasn't it you? Then why are you contacting me now? Hmm, where's our liaison officer?"

Li Ke said firmly, "Of course it wasn't me. Several warships approached my location in the early morning, and I was just contacted and questioned. I've already said that this matter has nothing to do with me."

As for contacting you, I wanted to ask if there's any news about the fleet that my base sent to look for my missing ship. You should have found out some information about their disappearance, right?

I've sent your liaison officer to continue his research. From now on, I will contact you directly, not through him.

The captain narrowed his eyes and said nothing more about Li Ke's denial. In response to her question, he said, "Not long after you landed on that island, they found out about you. They are very interested in you and want to know how you managed to survive unharmed."

Moreover, the research institute on that island suddenly disappeared because of your departure, and there are quite a few bizarre events related to you.

They know quite a bit about you and sent people to search for people connected to you a long time ago. They were about to give up, but when they saw that you were alive again, they immediately took action.

If Mo Bao'er doesn't go to sea, given the Mo family's guards, they can only bring your mother and half-sister out quietly. They are on their way and will meet you soon.

Do you have any solutions? Do you need our help?

Looking into the other man's seemingly kind but actually cunning eyes, Li Ke followed his words and said, "Of course we need to. Please help rescue Mo Bao'er and Qiu Shisan's entire fleet. As for the others, you can rescue them if you can, but I don't care if you can't."

The captain's gaze was heavy, and he said with a troubled expression, "You know, we are currently negotiating cooperation with the other side, and the process is very slow. The other side has just had its base raided, and they are insisting that the person who did it was you."

Therefore, those people connected to you are now very important bargaining chips, and if we were to make a move, we would have to pay a heavy price.

Li Ke understood the meaning behind the other party's words: "I can exchange with you for what you want most."

The captain's eyes crinkled with laughter as he asked, "Oh, you know what we want?"

Li Ke didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "Cheng Chenwei's research institute has a large solar energy mine, you should know that, right? We'll use it to exchange for Mo Bao'er and the others' safe return."

The captain was very interested, but he didn't show it on his face. He continued, "The things we discussed before, those documents?"

Li Ke met the other person's gaze: "Don't be too greedy. This solar energy mine is enough to replace the fleets of ten or a hundred Mo Bao'er."

The captain chuckled and said, "I don't mean anything by it, but from what they've said, they've lost quite a bit of stuff. I don't know exactly what it is, but it looks like the security will be very tight from now on, and I'm worried it will be difficult for you to make any moves."

Li Ke said calmly, "I only said before that I would do my best, and if it was impossible, I would not do it."

The captain nodded very amicably: "Yes, yes, we also wanted to ask for your help, and we didn't want to put you in a difficult position."

Li Ke asked, "What's Xiao Yi's situation now?"

The captain was not surprised to hear Li Ke's question. He knew a lot about Xiao Yi. After hearing Li Ke's question, the slight smile on his face slowly disappeared.

Seeing the somber expression on the person opposite him, who remained silent, Li Ke continued, "I know he was subjected to modification experiments. I don't believe you know nothing. I need to know his current situation."

The captain's eyes were dark: "His condition has been determined to be a sacrifice. The modification experiment on the other side has completely destroyed his brain consciousness. Li Ke, Xiao Yi is no longer a person in this world."

Li Ke showed no sadness or surprise, and continued to press, "What about the traitor who betrayed him? Have you found him? Have you dealt with him?"

The captain did not answer the question; these matters were difficult to explain and were related to other classified information.

He paused for a moment before saying, "I will arrange for people to handle the rescue of Mo Bao'er and the others, and try my best to bring them all back without any casualties. As for the solar energy mine you mentioned, please keep your word."

Li Ke: "I will."

As soon as the conversation ended, the captain immediately summoned the people off-camera: "You all heard the conditions she proposed. Arrange for the rescue of Mo Bao'er."

One of his subordinates had been following the matter for some time and felt that the mission wouldn't be too difficult: "I've already contacted the pirates in the vicinity who have dealings with us and are keeping an eye on their movements. I'll also send some of our men to disguise themselves as pirates and cooperate with the operation. The rescue shouldn't be too difficult."

The captain instructed, "We must be cautious. Be careful that they don't resort to desperate measures and kill the hostages. This is our first transaction, so we must make sure it's a perfect success."

The subordinate quickly agreed, then added, "What about her mother? They were taken away by another group, and they went with them voluntarily..."
